Nigeria’s National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has arrested 41-year-old Canadian woman, Adrienne Munju, for drug trafficking.
According to a statement by Femi Babafemi, NDLEA’s Director of Media and Advocacy, Munju was apprehended at Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Lagos, while attempting to import a large consignment of ‘Canadian Loud’, a potent strain of synthetic cannabis.
The suspect was arrested during the inward clearance of passengers on a KLM flight from Canada on Thursday, October 3, 2024. A joint examination of her three bags revealed 74 parcels of the illicit substance, weighing 35.20 kilograms, concealed in two of her bags.
In her statement, Munju disclosed that she was recruited online to traffic the consignment for a fee of 10,000 Canadian dollars, which she intended to use to fund her ongoing master’s degree program in Canada. This was her first visit to Nigeria.
